Happiness is . . . . . .

As I was thinking about what to write this morning, many things came to mind. since I use this blog as my journal, I wanted to make sure that my feelings are reflected in my writing. This Sunday, June 15th is Fathers day. As I mentioned before I had a great father and feel so lucky to have been raised by him. I married a wonderful man who was a terrific father to our three children. Even though Kent is no longer with us, I know that my children will remember him on this day. My 2 sons and my son-in-law are great fathers to my grandchildren. I am amazed as I watch them, in the way they are with their own families. Each one is so caring, generous with their time, supportive and in general great dads. They each have so much fun with their families and that makes me so happy to see. My grandchildren are very lucky to have such caring fathers.

The past two days I was attending a training class for the up-coming Creative Escape held in Sept. It was held at the Bazzill warehouse and so much fun. We were able to preview and create 7 very unique and creative projects..The teachers this year are so talented and so much fun to take a class from. What a fun weekend, Kristan, Karen, our friends Janna & Carol all rode down together. This is our 3rd year to volunteer for this event so we re-connected with many people we have worked with before. We started each day at 8 and classes ran all day and ended about 5. The event will be held at the Sheraton Wild Horse Pass Resort and Spa, Sept. 4th thru th 6th. Since the drive time to the resort is about 45 minutes to an hour we will all be staying on site. This event is attended by over 600 women and is such a fun atmosphere to be a part of, high energy, laughter and everyone excited to create the wonderful projects. We each got to request what we wanted to do at the event, either work with a specific teacher or be a group leader and rotate with that group for the 2 days of classes. Last year I was a group leader and loved it and requested that assignment again. I really bonded with the women in our group and had so much fun.

On Friday the 13th my oldest grandson turned 17 years old. Dylan will be a senior in high school next fall. He loves sports and is an excellent student in school. He is such a help to his mom and dad, with his little brothers and they really do look to him. What a wonderful grandson he is to me.. I love him so much.
